Members of the Anchor Boat Club once again collected enough funds from within the club to provide Thanksgiving meals with all the fixings for 10 Flagler families. In addition to the holiday dinner, each family — 48 people in all — received enough food for a full week, according to a news release from the club. All deliveries were made directly to each family on Nov. 18 to give them time to thaw the turkeys for the big day. Linda Cohen, who has been organizing this event on behalf of the club for at least 10 years, got some help from the Publix store in the Palm Harbor Shopping Center, which helped the club to purchase $1,400 worth of food for the holiday event. Store managers even helped Cohen store the turkeys until she was ready to make the deliveries. When family members asked how they could possibly thank club members, she told them to "someday pay it forward." But she also enjoyed all the hugs and kisses.
